Extension summary
IMPORTANT: This is not a Chrome/Google Official extension. A Chrome Extension that offers an interface, with style of Terminal/Command Prompt/Command Line/Power Shell, to execute customized commands. The interface can be accessed in three ways.
======== TARGET AUDIENCE ========
- Myself
- Keyboard heavy users: programmers, gamers ...
- Productivists, who learn for more productivity
======== FUNCTION ========
- Pop-up, with default hotkey [Alt]+[T], shows a Terminal style interface.
- Overrides new tab page to a Terminal style interface, with hotkeys to access your top sites.
- Input [T],[Tab] in address bar(omnibox), then the omnibox will become an inline command input box.
In Terminal style interface / omnibox, you can use text-based command and do whatever you are allowed (limited functionality for now). Use man
to see all command available. I personally create a lot of aliases and open website with them.
